Answer:
C
Explanation:
This is a monohybrid cross between involving a gene coding for earlobe. The allele for free earlobe (F) is dominant over that of attached earlobe (f).
N.B: let F represent the gene involved.
A genotypic ratio is the ratio derived from the offsprings based on the actual genetic make-up and not based on their phenotypic appearance as in phenotypic ratio.
A homozygous individual is an individual having the same kind of alleles for a gene while a heterozygous individual is one that has two different alleles i.e. combination of the dominant and recessive allele.
The monohybrid cross is between an individual with attached earlobe (ff) i.e. homozygous recessive individual. (Note that, a recessive trait will only be expressed in a homozygous state) and a heterozygous free earlobeb individual (Ff). (See attached picture). Ff × ff
The resulting four offsprings will
be expected to have only two distinct genotypes i.e heterozygous (Ff) and homozygous recessive (ff) in an equal ratio i.e. 2:2 ~ 1:1
Blade
Thin, flattened section of a plant leaf that collects sunlight
Petiole
Thin stalk by which a leaf blade is attached to a stem
Mesophyll
Specialized ground tissue that makes up the bulk of most leaves; performs most of a plant's photosynthesis
Palisade Mesophyll
Layer of tall, column-shaped mesophyll cells just under the upper epidermis of a leaf
Spongy Mesophyll
Loose tissue beneath the palisade layer of a leaf
Stoma
Opening in the underside of a leaf that allows carbon dioxide and oxygen to diffuse into and out of the leaf
Guard Cell
Specialized cell in the epidermis of plants that controls the opening and closing of stomata by responding to changes in water pressure
Transpiration
Loss of water from a plant through its leaves

Explanation:
Scientific laws and scientific theories are very similar.
They both discuss and observe phenomena that have already occurred and been evaluated.
The main difference between the two is that law defines nature and what it does conditionally, and the reaction of nature when these conditions encounter.
To sum it up, law discusses the behavior of something that transpires in many annotations.
A theory on the other hand discusses not the behavior, but the functions. The “why” factor so to speak.
